Yeah, heard it's awesome....not to be "Rotten Tomatoes Guy", but it's hard to argue with 100%....with critics...most of whom don't even like the smell of their own farts....and it's from Jordan Peele...did not see that coming.

The Circle - Meh. it's nice to see a movie explore how we are going to take the path towards totalitarianism proposed by Aldous Huxley where we happily do it to ourselves rather than presenting yet another Orwellian hellscape but it's way too on the nose. Comes off as a feature length really halfassed episode of Black Mirror.

Suburbicon is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Don't be fooled by the involvement of the Coen brothers. Not funny. Predictable. The overarching "subversive" point was about as subtle as a crowbar to the face and isn't anything we haven't already heard. Skip it.

The two movies I have seen since I walked out of the office for Christmas.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi spoiler free review: Went in without having seen as much as a trailer or read a review. Absolutely hated it.

Downsizing: The Descendants and Election, also written directed by Alexander Payne, are some of my favorite movies of the last 20 years. Downsizing left me absolutely cold. It's not a bad movie but it goes off in an odd direction that turns the movie into something completely different than what is suggested in the previews and it didn't do much for me. I was ready for it to be over way before it was over. A for effort.

Prior to going into pure Oscar Bait season I'd say my favorite movies of the year so far are:

Star Wars SUCKS....and not just in relation to what you expect....it truly sucks.

HOWEVER.....Shape of Water...currently the second best movie I’ve ever seen....behind Inception of course. I mean, if you’re not into “that”, then ok, but it’s unlike anything you’ll see....I can’t even put into to words how amazing it is.
